An L（3, 2, 1）-labeling of a graph G is a function from the vertex set V（G） to the set of all nonnegative integers such that ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥3 if dG（u,v） = 1, ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥2 if dG（u,v） = 2, and ｜f（u...An L（3, 2, 1）-labeling of a graph G is a function from the vertex set V（G） to the set of all nonnegative integers such that ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥3 if dG（u,v） = 1, ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥2 if dG（u,v） = 2, and ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥1 if dG（u,v） = 3. The L（3, 2,1）-labeling problem is to find the smallest number λ3（G） such that there exists an L（3, 2,1）-labeling function with no label greater than it. This paper studies the problem for bipartite graphs. We obtain some bounds of λ3 for bipartite graphs and its subclasses. Moreover, we provide a best possible condition for a tree T such that λ3（T） attains the minimum value.展开更多

The aim of the L（h, k）-labeling problem is to minimize the greatest used color. Since the decisional version of this problem is NP-complete, it is important to investigate particular classes of graphs for which the problem can be efficiently solved. It is well known that the most common interconnection topologies, such as Butterfly-like, Beneg, CCC, Trivalent Cayley networks, are all characterized by a similar structure： they have nodes organized as a matrix and connections are divided into layers. So we naturally introduce a new class of graphs, called （l × n）-multistage graphs, containing the most common interconnection topologies, on which we study the L（h, k）-labeling. A general algorithm for L（h, k）-labeling these graphs is presented, and from this method an efficient L（2, 1）-labeling for Butterfly and CCC networks is derived. Finally we describe a possible generalization of our approach.展开更多
